I have a report I created with a SQL connection (PULL model).
 
Can I change this at runtime to use the Oracle OLE DB connection?

Yes, to change the Crystal Reports data provider at runtime you have to use the ReportDocment object model and change the properties ServerName and DatabaseName to the Oracle database. Unfortunately, I've never used Oracle before so I don't know if there are any special quirks that might trip you up.

If you used a Command Text to set the query for the report, you're probably ok.  If you used the Database Expert to select tables and link them, you may have problems due to the table owner being included in the SQL.  Use the Database menu option "Show SQL Query" to take a look at the SQL in your report.  If there is "sa." in front of the table names, just changing the driver will not work because sa is not a valid table owner in Oracle.
